Golf icon Jack Nicklaus and Niall Horan, the pop star caddie for Rory McIlroy, one-upped Tiger Woods in the superstar's first US Masters Par-3 Contest outing since 2004.
It was the first time Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the record 18 majors won by Nicklaus, brought his children to the relaxed atmosphere of the par-3 course on the eve of the Masters yesterday.
But Nicklaus produced his first hole-in-one of any sort at Augusta National at the 130-yard fourth hole to a roar from spectators and Horan, a member of the British boy band One Direction, was sought after for selfies and autographs. When it came to Par-3 starpower, it was clearly Tiger who?
Horan carried the clubs for McIlroy until the ninth, when the world No1 let the 21-year-old Irish musician tee off. The ball hooked left and into water.
"Any other day I would have found the green but there's a lot of pressure out there," Horan said.
